Nuno Espirito Santo has spoken of his “admiration” for Burnley ahead of bringing his Wolves side to Turf Moor.

Last season, both matches between Wolves and Burnley ended 1-1 and, although Sean Dyche's Clarets have endured a difficult start to the season, they have tightened up significantly at the back and have only lost one of their last five games.

The visitors will be looking to build on their victory over Chelsea on Tuesday night that lifted them into the top half of the Premier League table.

Nuno said: “A lot of admiration for Burnley, for the group of players.

"They’re honest, hard-working. A lot of admiration for (manager) Sean (Dyche).

“All of the teams are different. That’s why it’s so competitive, that’s why it’s so unpredictable, because every team is full of quality and all different ideas.

“It’s up to us as a team to adapt and be able to compete against all the opponents.

"Burnley is a tough opponent with their own specific way.

"We will try to impose our idea on the pitch better than their idea.”

The Wolves boss is well aware that the Chelsea win, thanks to a last-gasp winner from Pedro Neto, will count for nothing when they arrive in East Lancashire.

Nuno said: “It’s going to be a new game, a challenge for us, a new challenge to what we did against Chelsea and the game before and the game before.

“It’s a process. You cannot rely on what you did before, you have to make things happen on Monday. This is what we will try. Not words but actions.”
